food IS a theme park
Although many special events have been canceled this year due to the global health crisis, there are still plenty of fabulous foodie events happening at Disney World!
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
We’ve been happily eating our way around the 2020 EPCOT Taste of Epcot Food and Wine Festival. And although the Swan and Dolphin’s Food and Wine Classic was canceled this year, we’ve been given the alternative Sip, Savor, & Stay Saturdays.
Downtown Disney at Disneyland has hosted several exclusive shopping events over the past few months. Last month, Downtown Disney hosted an event that allowed Disney fans to get their hands on some cool spooky merchandise.
Haunted Mansion Dooneys
Well, get ready, Cali friends, because Downtown Disney is hosting another exclusive shopping event that will include an opportunity to buy a few things that are truly HAUNTED.
This is Halloween! And that means we’re at Disney World trying out all the spooky snacks — and even better, ALL THE SPOOKY DRINKS!
Abracadbar Sign
And we have tried SO MANY spooky drinks: Hocus Pocus frappuccinos, Poisoned Apple drinks, and even a Spooky Rum Punch.
How can we not love Halloween at Disney World? The parks go all out this time of year with amazing fall decorations, along with special snacks and drinks!
Fort Wilderness
So we headed over to P & J’s Southern Takeout at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground to see what kind of spooky concoctions they’ve cooked up!
Although the current global health crisis has affected the travel industry as a whole, the cruise industry has even been more impacted than most.
Disney Wonder
And that doesn’t seem to be something that will change soon — Disney previously confirmed that its cruise operations would be the last of its tourism-based businesses to return. Disney cruises have also been suspended through mid-December.
Last week, Disney announced that it would lay off 28,000 Cast Members in the Parks, Experiences, and Products division.
Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
As we started to get more details about the situation, we realized that many of these lay-offs would affect Cast Members at Disney World in Florida.
Although we’re still knee-deep in Halloween season (YAY!), the holidays are RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. And we’re already starting to see some awesome Disney holiday merch!
Christmas Tree in Magic Kingdom
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And we’ve found some CUTE Disney holiday pins that are PERFECT for making that wintry season merry and bright!
We’re not just interested in all things Haunted Mansion on Halloween — our love for this attraction knows no season!
Cast Members outside the Haunted Mansion
We couldn’t help but DIE over the new Dooney & Bourke Haunted Mansion bags we found, but now we’ve uncovered some NEW Haunted Mansion bags at Hot Topic that are perfect for attending a swinging wake!
Every day is Christmas here at DFB, at least in our hearts. Yes, we’re still enjoying Halloween at Disney World (ALL THE SPOOKY SNACKS!), but we are SO gearing up for Christmas, too!
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe
That’s why we always love browsing inside Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe at Magic Kingdom, where it’s Christmas EVERY SINGLE DAY. And we just found some super mouse-tacular ornaments there!
We love browsing through the stores in Disney Springs. From Basin’s AMAZING bath bombs to Uniqlo’s Disney-inspired clothing to the unique pop-up cards at Lovepop, Disney Springs is such a fun place to shop!
Disney Springs
One of the unique stores guests can visit in Disney Springs is UNOde50, which sells limited-edition jewelry, all handcrafted in Spain. And soon, UNOde50 will offer a limited-time discount to all UNOWORLD members!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
